Influenced by my older brother, who is two years older, I started playing baseball in first grade. The brothers were on the same team, and together they competed and honed their skills in baseball.

Currently, I focus on pitching, but I have experienced multiple positions such as catcher and second base. Every time I changed positions, it was difficult to learn new sign plays and movements, but because of those experiences, I came to understand the fun and difficulty of each position.

J. F. Oberlin University I became interested because many seniors from high school were there. When I actually came to observe after being invited by a senior one year above, I intuitively thought, "I want to play baseball here." I felt it was an environment where the relationships were flat, and I could quickly connect with seniors, allowing me to focus comfortably on practice.

Soon after joining the team, the coach suggested I switch to an underhand pitching style. I tried it for about two or three months, but I felt it didn't suit me, so I went back to my original form and resumed practicing. Then, I was able to pitch better than expected in an intrasquad game, which caught the attention of the coaches, and I started being called up to play in games from the fall league of my first year.

A major turning point in my college career was when I got injured before the spring league in my third year. I suffered a muscle strain, which prevented me from doing enough leg training, but I was able to dedicate that time to upper body weight training. As a result, I improved my upper body mechanics and became able to consistently pitch around five innings. I believe this experience was a major reason why I was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the spring league.

As I've moved up a grade and gained more underclassmen, I've made a conscious effort to actively communicate with my teammates. In particular, during the spring league, where we often used multiple pitchers in each game, I made sure to share information with each other and maintain a high level of motivation throughout the team.

In the spring league, I was entrusted with short innings, but I think the ideal pitcher is someone who can pitch through nine innings. To strengthen stamina for the autumn league, I am currently practicing not only running hard but also throwing over 150 to 200 pitches per week in the bullpen.

J. F. Oberlin University The strength of the baseball club is that you can talk regardless of grade. I also ask questions about everything from technical skills to mental health, regardless of whether they're senior or junior. I feel that the team's strength lies in actively sharing information and fostering mutual growth.

For the autumn league, our goal is to win every championship and return to Division 1. As a team, we want to do our best to achieve good results in both ERA and batting average. For those who come to the stadium, we hope not only the players playing on the field but also the passionate atmosphere where the cheering stands and benches are integrated firsthand. Please experience the essence of J. F. Oberlin University!
